Some believe that their current portrayal was an evolution from the greek sirens which were half woman half bird creatures whose luring voices brought men to their ruin. While their origin and purpose might be hard to pin down, it is clear that their existence has played a crucial role in Latin American culture. Mermaids or Sirens were not part of either Aztec or Mayan mythology, but they were part of European stories. The existence in our current latin american culture highlights the transferring of ideas, stories, and beliefs that occurs through colonization. In this illustration La sirena is crying while holding a mask of her face with a happy expression as she takes a selfie. Technology, and the world it creates, represents the alluring song sirens were said to sing in order to bring men to their ruin. The happy facial expression mask that La Sirena is holding, highlights how despite technology being created with the purpose to bring us together it more often than not creates a rift between our emotions, the portrayal of those emotions, and each other.
